Don't Offend Your Probable Next Boss Quote of the Day "Watching the elite Beltway press actually rally around Fox News last year after the White House called it out as an illegitimate outlet for real news was one of the saddest journalism spectacles in recent memory. Recall that during the Bush years, the GOP White House often cooked up allegations and lashed out at prominent (i.e. genuine) news organizations, such as NBC and the New York Times, and I don't recall anybody rallying around them. But when a Democratic administration called out Fox News for what it really is, a GOP propaganda tool (i.e. the Opposition Party), the same D.C. press corps played defense for Murdoch's dishonest empire and actually demanded Dems back off. Good grief. But I think the huge majority of it is explained quite simply: fear or the 'liberal media bias' charge. Conservatives have been pounding the press for more than four decades about their alleged bias and the Beltway press corps has developed rabbit ears when it comes to the allegation. And frankly, there's plenty of evidence that jouranlists are terrified of the charge and nervous about what can happen to their careers if that tag sticks. So what's an easy way to prove you're not liberal? (Aside from becoming lapdogs during the Bush years.) You pretend Fox News is legit. You pretend that sure, Ailes has some opinion guys on at night, but there's a clear dividing line between the news and opinion. You pretend that Fox News is just the mirror opposite of MSNBC. Basically, you sign off on a charade that, as Raines points out, any newsroom pro can see is a complete joke."

Saturday , March 20, 2010  03:26 Alliteration of the Day "British Beatitudes! … Beer, beef, business, bibles, bulldogs, battleships, buggery and bishops." Stephen Dedalus, in Ulysses by James Joyce Wednesday , March 17, 2010  08:31 Vedic Quote of the Day The Hymns of the Atharvaveda Book VI Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895 - 1896) The Atharvaveda is a Vedic-era collection of spells, prayers, charms, and hymns. The Vedic Era is the period during which the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of the Indo-Aryans, were being composed. Scholars place the Vedic period in the second and first millennia BCE continuing up to the 6th century BCE. Hymn XIII Homage to death Worship to weapons of the Gods! Worship to weapons of the Kings! Then worship to the people's arms! Worship, Oh Death, be paid to thee! Let worship be to your defense and to your accusation paid. Death be this worship paid, to thy good-will and thy malevolence! Worship to your physicians, to your sorcerers be worship paid! Death, let this reverence be done unto your Brâhmans and your roots! Hymn XVIII A charm to banish jealousy The first approach of Jealousy, and that which follows the first, The pain, the fire that burns within your heart we quench and drive away. Even as the earth is dead to sense, yes, more unconscious than the dead, Even as a corpse's spirit is the spirit of the jealous man. The thought that harbors in thy heart, the fluttering doubt that dwells therein, Yes, all your jealousy, like heat born of the dance, I banish.

If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words [for socialism and fascism]....Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If I am going to Jeremiah Wright's church. If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop." Glenn Beck, member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) 02 March, 2010, as quoted in the church's Deseret News, 12 March, 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Public figures who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represent their own views and do not speak for the church." Scott Trotter, official spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Deseret News, 12 March, 2010) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'd have to let him speak for himself....One way to read the Book of Mormon is that it's a vast tract on social justice. It's ubiquitous in the Book of Mormon to have the prophetic figures, much like in the Hebrew Bible, calling out those who are insensitive to injustices." Phillip Barlow, Arrington professor of Mormon history and culture at Utah State University (Deseret News, 12 March, 2010) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My own experience as a believing Latter-day Saint over the course of 60 years is that I have seen social justice in practice in every LDS congregation I've been in. People endeavor with all of our frailties and shortcomings to love one another and to lift up other people. So if that's Beck's definition of social justice, he and I are definitely not on the same team." Kent P. Jackson, associate dean of religion at church-owned Brigham Young University (Deseret News, 12 March, 2010) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We are the Lord's hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift his children. He is dependent upon each of us." Thomas S. Monson, prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in General Conference, October, 2009 (Deseret News, 12 March, 2010) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the "comments" section of the online edition of Deseret News, 12 March, 2010: The DN article left out that Glenn Beck encouraged listeners to search their church's web-site and if it contains the words "social justice" to leave. It is secret code words for "communists". So, I'm LDS and the LDS church website had nearly a dozen hits. What should I do NOW!!! (sarcasm)!!! Saturday , March 13, 2010  00:59 Another Madisonian Quote of the Day “There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current one, that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong." James Madison Friday , March 12, 2010  23:31 How it Works in America Quote of the Day “Too many people in America believe that if you are pro-choice that means pro-abortion. It doesn't. I don't want abortion. Abortion should be the rarest thing in the world. I am actually personally opposed to abortion. But I don't believe that I have a right to take what is an article of faith to me and legislate it to other people. That's not how it works in America." Senator John Kerry Wednesday , March 10, 2010  05:50 Quote of the Day The scene: Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) was at a wedding, dancing with a bridesmaid. After the dance, he approached a table of his staffers. One of the men at the table suggested to Massa that he should be chasing after the bridesmaid. Massa's response: “Well, what I really ought to be doing is frakking you.” One of the other men at the table filed an ethics complaint. Last week, Massa announced he would resign, and had this refreshing approach to the complaint: "I am guilty." "There is no doubt in my mind that I did in fact, use language in the privacy of my own home and in my inner office that, after 24 years in the Navy, might make a chief petty officer feel uncomfortable. In fact, there is no doubt that this ethics issue is my fault and mine alone." "It (fighting the complaint) would tear us (his family) apart. It's not that I can fight or beat these allegations, I'm guilty." Monday , March 8, 2010  08:24 Feels Very Good Quote of the Day "Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself. A man who lies to himself is often the first to take offense. It sometimes feels very good to take offense, doesn't it? And surely he knows that no one has offended him, and that he himself has invented the offense and told lies just for the beauty of it, that he has exaggerated for the sake of effect, that he has picked on a word and made a mountain out of a pea — he knows all of that, and still he is the first to take offense, he likes feeling offended, it gives him great pleasure, and thus he reaches the point of real hostility." The Brothers Karamazov (1880), Book II, Chapter 2 Fyodor Dostoyevsky Saturday , March 6, 2010  08:46 Glenn Beck is Still Evil Quote of the Day "[Glenn Beck's CPAC appearance] showed that a once-principled conservative movement of reasoned activists has turned into a mob -- one that does not engage in civilized battles of ideas. Instead, these torch-carriers, gun-brandishers and tea partiers follow an anti-government terrorist attack by cheering a demagogue's demand for the physical annihilation of those with whom he disagrees." David Sirota, of Alternet "That's like saying, 'The Nazis' beef was with Judaism, but not Jews.'" David Sirota, on Beck's claim that he is targeting progressive ideology, not progressives themselves. Monday , March 1, 2010  18:16 Better-Man-Than-I-Am Quote of the Day From Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address Saturday, March 4, 1865 "One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war....Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained....Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered....Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations," Sunday , February 28, 2010  16:29 Sexy, Old, Hot Scrota of the Day While looking at photos from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, I clicked on a link that led me to a blog called "Sexy Girls Collections: Sexy Top Models - Non Adult." The guy who keeps the blog describes it this way: "So sexy, so hot, so wonderful! All about women! Without porn, just beautiful women!" He's true to his word, as there is almost no nudity, and no pornography, on the blog. Even when the description indicates nudity, it's seldom correct. The most entertaining thing about it is the way the apparently Egyptian blogger describes the photographs in English. Here are some of my favorites. ~ KDS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I need a man! I'm horny, hot and sexy -- Do you like to see me naked?

Sexy, just sexy Tuesday , February 23, 2010  07:11 Life is like this Quote of the Day I don't like engaging in inter-urinal or inter-stall conversations, but I don't ignore people when they start talking to me in the restroom. Two days ago, I felt strong enough to go to Lowe's to buy some curtains. While there, I rolled into the restroom, and up to the only free urinal. As usual, it was difficult to struggle into a standing, balanced position. The effort attracted the attention of the guy to my left. While he was washing his hands, and adjusting his Formica comb-over, he nodded toward my scooter, initiating the following conversation: Formicahead: That must suck! Me: What? Formicahead: Being stuck in that thing. It must really suck, huh? ME: No, to me, this thing means freedom. If I didn't have it, I'd have only my crutches. I'd be stuck in my house. With it, I can go places and do things. I have traveled around the country with it. I've taken it to South America, Europe and Japan. That thing is freedom! Formicahead: Wow! I've got to say that you've really turned my head around. All I could see was the negative. You've just showed me it's really positive. You've shown me another way to look at things. In just a few seconds, you re-educated me, and I appreciate it! Thanks! Me: Oh...well...thank you. Formicajead (heading fir the door): Thanks, again. I'll never forget this. Me: No problem. It was a nice, warm-fuzzy moment, until I looked down and realized I'd peed all over my left shoe.

Country Grammar ~ Nelly Friday , January 22, 2010  20:16 Challenging Quote of the Day "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort but where he stands at times of challenge and discovery." Martin Luther King Jr. Wednesday , January 20, 2010  08:43 Impressionist Quote of the Day Vincent Van Gogh, to his brother, Theo December, 1881: If I repent of anything, it is of the time when I was induced by mystical and theological notions to lead too secluded a life. Gradually, I have thought better of that. When you wake up in the morning and find yourself not alone, but see there in the morning twilight a fellow creature beside you, it makes the world look so much more friendly. Much more friendly than religious diaries and whitewashed church walls, with which the clergymen are in love. It was a modest, simple little room in which she lived, the plain paper on the wall gave it a quiet, gray tone, yet warm, like a picture by Chardin; a wooden floor with a mat and a piece of old, crimson carpet, an ordinary kitchen stove, a chest of drawers and a large, simple bed. In short, it was the interior for a real working-woman. She had to stand at the washtub the next day - just so - quite right. In a black petticoat and a dark blue camisole she would have been as charming to me as she was now in a brown or reddish-gray dress. She was no longer young, perhaps as old as Kee, and she had a child. Yes, she'd had some experience in life, and her youth was gone. Gone? "Il n'ya point de vielle femme." (There is no such thing as an old woman.) Oh, and she was strong and healthy, yet not coarse or common. Are those who care so very much for distinction always able to discern what is really distinguished? Dear me, people seek it so often in the clouds, or under the ground, when it is sometimes quite close at hand. Even I did so now and then.
